English translation:[suffers from] hypertension
Explanation:
First off [and once and for all], one should note that the adjective is NOT hypertONIC but rather hypertENSIVE.

In this case, the entire phrase can be translated in several ways, for instance:

1. Past medical history: heart disease, hypertension [the one I would go with]
2. Past medical history: heart disease, high-blood pressure

'heart disease' may also be replaced by 'cardiac disease'

or descriptively

3. Past medical history: the patient suffers from heart disease and hypertension

I'd definitely go with #1 as reports tend to be succinct.

Hope that helps!
